It must be a class that nobody would ever guess, but maybe that’s what he wants me to think, and he is actually something as simple as a Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’There are six choices—Warrior, Tank, Ranger, Assassin, Helper, and Mage—there is around 17 percent chance of guessing correctly if I just guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It would make guessing a little bit easier if I could eliminate a few choices and narrow it down.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought and then looked at Randell, who was just smiling and enjoying his predicament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were letting him think in peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players who knew the answer just chuckled to themselves, as it really was an evil question that had stumped many before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Alright, let’s think. This Randell guy does not like moving much. His hygiene is horrible. I can really smell him from across the room, and I don’t think he moves much from the throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I think I can honestly eliminate Warrior as a choice. It is a very physical class, and Randell clearly doesn’t care about taking care of himself physically.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also saw how Randell handled his Refined Sword and it really didn’t look like he had ever wielded a sword before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Most people would guess that he is Tank. With his big body, he could tank well, but again, I don’t think he is the type of person that would become one.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he still didn’t dare to eliminate that as a choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Assassin... This is a tricky one. It is a class for the stealthy and agile, and he is neither of those things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That’s why he could be Assassin. It is something that nobody would guess him to be, and maybe when he was young he dreamed of being a ninja or something and wanted to become one here.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was his first guess for now—Assassin—but he had a hunch that he might also be overthinking things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I need to remember that for him to become boss of so many players, Randell must be very powerful. I honestly don’t see him becoming that strong in the Assassin pathway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It requires a lot of... physical training to advance in the Assassin pathway, and it doesn’t look like he has done a day of training in his life.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then thought about Mage and imagined Randell as a wand-wielding, pointy hat-wearing mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Maybe... However, to increase mana and learn the skills of the Mage pathway, you need to learn a lot of books. This guy would never open a book.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Randell’s eyes narrowed, as he felt like he was being insulted right now, and he started tapping the armrest of his throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost like he was saying, \"Hurry up, we don’t have all day!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...What about the Helper class? It could also be one, but would Randell really bother to \"help\" anyone? I don’t think so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And to keep all of these players in check, Randell must have impressive combat prowess. You cannot rule over a street crime scene otherwise.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon felt his head pound as if it was being hit from all sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a stupidly difficult question, and he was trying to get as much help from the surroundings as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even tried lip-reading nearby players if they happened to accidentally spill out the answer, but he couldn’t really lip-read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...What about Ranger class? Nah, once again, a class that requires physicality, and he just doesn’t have that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Assassin, Tank, or Helper—it must be one of those three—33 percent chance. I increased it slightly, but I don’t like those odds.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well? Are you going to keep thinking all day, or are you going to give me an answer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Randell asked with a smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...It is an unfair question. I don’t have enough information on you to make that guess. I want some help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Help? What the hell do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Randell asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be magnanimous, and give me a hint. It’ll make the game much more interesting, I promise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon put his hands together and pleaded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made Randell think, and he rubbed his dirty beard, and with a smirk, he leaned back against the backrest of the throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, I’ll give you a hint. With that class, I can steal something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Randell smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Assassin!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon’s eyes widened, but then he lowered his head and thought, ’No,’ and almost slapped himself in the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is he trying to trick me? Is this hint a fake? No, I was checking the player’s expressions, and they didn’t look confused by that question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Instead... They looked amused... It must be a real hint, but the answer must not be that simple. I need to think outside the box.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bit his finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Randell pulled out a pocket watch, turned the clock back, and it started ticking down from the twelve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have one minute to give me your answer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Randell said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I really don’t think it is Assassin. It would be just too obvious of an answer, but maybe he again wants me to overthink?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I really don’t think he is smart enough to play mind games with me. I think his class can really steal, but it’s not Assassin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The keyword here is ’steal something,’ as if it is something that is a rather irregular thing. Can it be Tank? No way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Warrior... no... Ranger... no... Mage... no... What about the Helper?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What would he be stealing as a Helper? There are many debuff skills that can be used as weapon in a way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’You can heal, but can you also steal health? Just like with Abigail’s Mana Drain skill. That’s basically stealing mana, but I don’t think Randell is a Mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So, Helper?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thirty seconds!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Randell shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’ve read that every class can be used in an offensive manner if you so desire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Helper is a class that nobody would associate with Randell, and maybe he actually doesn’t help anyone with that class but uses it in an offensive manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Maybe he steals health... Like an Anti-Healer, in a way.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ten seconds!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Randell shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Fang Raon looked him straight into the eye, and with his racing heartbeat, he shouted out his answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Helper!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1087,"2026-06-06T02:35:08.158Z",1,"novelbin.me","ae9e370852eb5321767105434ad2d3767bafd95868de0a373a5419a141d6f154","black-online-chapter-78","black-online-chapter-76",270,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fblack-online-cover.jpg"]
